Victorian Crime & Punishment

Do you have prisoners lurking in your family tree? I certainly do!! My John Cannon who was convicted of stealing an oak post features on this web site along with inmates of gaols in Bedford, Cambridge, Ely & Huntingdon. These databases give plenty of details to keep genealogists happy. There is also general information on justice in the 19th century, gaols and case studies. Great site.

About Me

History, particularly Family History is my passion. I have worked in libraries & archives, I teach family history, conduct workshops and give genealogy presentations. It seemed a shame to have all this knowledge & experience and not share it with others, so this website was born.
